And there are some more of us living here
We are called Legion

I have been in this man many years ago we were lost
But now we're here in this man. what?

I've been in this man many years
There are many of us
Years ago we took him over and now
We are like a Legion in him

What will you do will you torture us now?
There are many of us here and you know
We're a Legion - we are many

Come out, come out!
It's time for you to be gone
Go back to where you belong
In the name of God's only Son
You demons be gone!
Demons All Together:
Please don't send us into nothing
Send us in the pigs we're begging
Crying out as one we're saying
Help us Jesus!
We obey you knowing you have
All authority and we have none
You're like Your Father
Please have mercy Jesus
(Repeat)
We know who You are the holy one of God!
JESUS:
GO!
(The demons are cast into a herd of pigs who then run off a cliff into the sea. The man is now of a sound mind for the first time)
JESUS:
Are you alright now?
MADMAN:
Yes I feel fine
It feels like sunlight
Inside my mind
JESUS:
Go on home
Tell everyone you know
God has made you whole
